I have multiple inboxes flowing into my Outlook clients on MacOS, iOS, formerly Windows 10, but now can't find that functionality for a joint inbox in my Windows 11 version. Please help!

Outlook | Windows | Classic Outlook for Windows | For business

    I have tried the "New" Outlook built for Windows 11, and it's not that different from Outlook which is included with Office 2021/2023/365.

    No "All Accounts" or Unified/Global inbox. When the feature is clearly there on iOS and Android. Even the older Windows Mail application is more user friendly and doesn't require huge amounts of scrolling up and down or expanding each account's folders to be able to view what's inside each and every SEPARATE inbox. Is it too much to ask to have ONE inbox for all accounts like there is on the Outlook iOS and Android apps?

    Yes, there are probably ways to make it happen - with macros, rules or using VB script, but that's pretty advanced stuff. We just want a Mail client (or application) that works, is easy to use, and has the same features across ALL PLATFORMS.

    I honestly don't think Microsoft cares. Or, they're holding this back as and will announce it as a brand new feature for Windows 12 to make us think they've done something great and revolutionary. I've submitted feedback several times to Microsoft when reverting back to the old Windows Mail client. Hell, I purchased Office 2021 and have used every other application except Outlook in that too - all because of the All Account Inbox issue. I want it to be like the app I use on my iPhone and iPad thanks. I expect that same ease of use user experience on my Windows desktop PC.

    Wait, so there is actually no way for the Windows PC version of Outlook (not Microsoft Office bundled outlook but regular home computer standalone Outlook) to display merged inbox?

    How ridiculous and counterintiutive — a typical anti user behaviour by Microsoft

    Then stop asking me to migrate from the classic windws 10 app "mail and calendar" to a "new version" (meaning this **** of an Outlook), which clearly doesn't have the core capabilities of the app it wants me to replace.

    "only works with outlook email presently." - do you mean Outlook email on every single OS aside from Windows?!?

    One more vote for This REALLY needs to be fixed. Cannot check multiple accounts inbox.

    How is it that Apple can do it, but the native platform cannot?

    Should be a fairly easy fix.

    I just updated my Outlook to use the Preview version, and was shocked that there's no "All Accounts" view like there is on my Macbook for work. How ridiculous. Please add this feature! Thanks Microsoft...
